Book Blurb: Halloween is here and Lexie, Bella and Maddie couldn't be happier. But why does everything feel so different? Fewer houses are decorated and fewer kids are out trick-or-treating. Still, that's not going to stop the three girls from eating as much candy as they can before their parents can stop them, even if that means fighting each other for it.

When they finally discover a haunted house worthy of their favorite holiday, they forget their parents' warnings and go in alone, only to discover that the house really is haunted, and not only that, but they've been transported to a whole different world!

A dying Sugar Fairy in one of the abandoned rooms send them on a quest to find her Sugar Baby and the magic Sugar Flower in order to save her and Halloween. If they fail, Halloween will be gone forever, and they'll never return to their family. But with Sugar Bug attacks, the Cavity Caves where they must face their deepest fears, and giant gummy bears armed with candy cane swords, the girls aren't sure they'll make it.

Their only chance is to work together, using each of their strengths to help each other. Can they stop fighting over candy long enough? Or will they be trapped in the dying Sugar Land forever?

Review: Kimberly Kinrade's Three Lost Kids series continues with The Three Lost Kids & The Death Of The Sugar Fairy.

This is an absolutely great Halloween story that parents and kids will love.

Halloween is Maddie's birthday, but this year isn't turning out quite the way she expected.

The book hints at some of the stuff in the past 3 books of The Lost Kids series when the girls end up in the Haunted House, but it nothing that will put young readers off, if this is the first book from the series that they grab. In fact, it will likely make them want to read the rest of the books.

Lexie, Bella and Maddie are fun kids and their quest to find the Sugar Baby and the Sugar Flower is a fun adventure. Plus in saving the Sugar Fairy, they also save Halloween! And a world without Halloween is just not a fun place at all!

Ms. Kinrade also delivers the story with a moral. The usual one associated with Halloween. But she doesn't do it in a way that makes you feel that candy is bad and we must not eat any of it.
